To properly balance the telescope, the mount comes with a counterweight bar and two counterweights. To install
the counterweight bar:
1. Remove the counterweight safety screw from the counterweight bar (opposite of the threaded end).
2. Thread the counterweight bar through the counterweight bar locking nut.
3. Locate the opening in the equatorial mount on the DEC axis.
4. Thread the counterweight bar into the opening until tight.
5. Tighten the counterweight bar lock nut fully for added support (see fig 2-7).
Once the bar is securely in place you are ready to attach the counterweights.
